Wrinkles are the most noticeable sign of aging for men and women of nearly all age groups. As we age, our bodies naturally begin to produce less and less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and lines on the face, forehead and elsewhere on the body. While wrinkles may be unavoidable, there are plenty of wrinkle reduction methods and treatments available to keep your skin smooth and youthful.

At AYA™, we offer many treatments and services that can help our patients reduce wrinkles. The most popular among them are our wide variety of cosmetic injectables. Botox® Cosmetic injections can work wonders by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkling around the eyes and on the forehead. Similarly, our vast array of facial fillers (including treatments from Juvéderm® & Sculptra® Aesthetic) are able to successfully treat wrinkles that accrue around a patient’s cheeks, mouth and nose. Additionally, chemical peels can serve as an excellent remedy to wrinkle problems.

We often get asked, “What can I do at home to fight wrinkles between treatments?” With that in mind, we’ve provided some simple tips that you can try at home to help compliment your wrinkle reduction treatments from AYA™:

Cleansing

Gently cleansing your skin regularly can help promote smooth, healthy skin that looks more revitalized, fresh and radiant. One of the many cleansing products we carry is the Foaming Cleanser from Elta.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation can help to remove wrinkles by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. By doing so, exfoliation exposes the younger, living cells underneath. This results in a more vibrant, glowing face. For exfoliation in between your microdermabrasion treatments at AYA™ we recommend Exfoliating Facial Rinse from Revision® Skincare.

Moisturizing

Moisturizers that keep the skin hydrated are always recommended. Other topical treatments including vitamin C can also successfully combat wrinkles. AYA™ offers a wide variety of beneficial moisturizing lotions and creams including Obagi C® RX Exfoliating Day Lotion and Hydrate Plus from Auspect™ Skincare.

Sun Protection

UV radiation from the Sun is the number one cause of wrinkles. With that in mind, avoiding unnecessary sunlight should be a priority for anyone trying to limit wrinkles. Sunscreen can help protect your skin from potential harm when you are outside. We recommend any of the sunscreens available from EltaMD® Skincare.

Regardless of which wrinkle reduction treatments you decide on, proper home maintenance between treatments can go a long way towards achieving healthy, young-looking skin as you age. For more information on wrinkle reduction treatments contact AYA™ today or pop into any of our three Alpharetta or Atlanta area locations.

Communication with our patients is crucial here at AYA™ Medical Spa. By letting our patients’ provide us with feedback, we are able to make sure we’re doing everything in our power to make every patient’s experience as beneficial and satisfying as possible. To help give you a sense of how we work at AYA™, we’ve decided to share some recent stories from patients we have helped with their skincare needs.

“M”: Sciton® BroadBand Light™ Phototherapy Patient at AYA™

“M” first came to AYA™ because she was frustrated with her appearance due to rosacea. After seeing minimal results with antibiotic treatments in the past, we recommended Phototherapy treatments with Sciton® BroadBand Light™ Phototherapy technology. Read more about “M’s” experience at AYA™:

A dermatologist diagnosed rosacea in the area of my chin in 1999. When we moved to the south, I found the condition was worsening. I noticed more redness along my cheeks and nose and more flushing. A dermatologist prescribed antibiotics, but I was skeptical since my skin was getting worse. It happened that the day after my appointment with the dermatologist, I got a call from an esthetician at AYA™. She described Sciton® BroadBand Light™ (BBL) and we talked about what it could do for people with Rosacea. I decided to try it.

I started with iS Clinical® products to prepare my skin, then the glycolic peel followed by Sciton® BBL. I noticed results immediately. My skin tone was improved, the pores were smaller and the redness and flushing were greatly reduced. I don’t have to worry about Rosacea anymore – I feel it is under control. People who see me regularly comment on how nice my skin looks. I have been more than satisfied with the service and the advice I’ve received and I recommend Sciton® BBL with the utmost confidence.

“R”: Microdermabrasion Patient at AYA™

“R” opted for microdermabrasion treatments to help achieve smoother, healthier-looking facial skin. After her treatments, “R” and her friends were stunned by how effective and natural-looking her results were. Take it from “R” herself:

Many of my lifelong friends have commented on how smooth my skin appears. They did not even know that I had the microdermabrasion treatments. They noticed the difference after my first treatment. With the second, I have seen discoloration disappear as well as other irregularities in my skin. I am quite pleased with the results and look forward to continued improvement with future treatments.

“M”: Loyal AYA™ Patient

At AYA™, we take as much pride in providing our patients with a comfortable, professional atmosphere as we do on providing excellent skincare results. It’s important that all of our patients feel that the AYA™ licensed estheticians have done everything in their power to talk them through their treatments and address any questions or concerns they may have to ensure patient satisfaction and the best skincare results possible. Here’s what “M” had to say about her time at AYA™:

I am writing to express my gratitude and complete satisfaction with my treatment at AYA™. Their staff was knowledgeable, professional and creative in their work. I am so happy with their suggestions and how they were able to put them into practice. Apart from their extreme competence and professionalism, the staff was warm and interesting, and made me feel like an individual when I went in for my treatments. Thank you so much, and see you soon!

Regardless of which treatments you are considering, the staff at AYA™ will strive to provide you with a youthful appearance you can feel great about. Before any treatments at AYA™, we provide our patients with a complimentary skincare analysis where our trusted, experienced staff will listen to your concerns and help you determine which treatments may be most beneficial for you. To get started, please contact AYA™ Medical Spa today or come into any of our 3 Alpharetta or Atlanta area locations (Avalon, Phipps Plaza, Northside). For more patient stories, skin care tips and more, please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

If you are familiar with AYA™, you’re probably already aware of the effects cosmetic injectables can have on the areas on and around a person’s face. Cosmetic injectables rejuvenate facial skin and fill areas of lost volume by minimizing the effects of aging like wrinkles and lines that appear on the face. What you may not know is that these are versatile treatments that can provide similarly excellent results to other parts of your body as well.

The skin on a person’s body is just as prone to sun damage and wrinkling as the skin on our face, though people rarely take the same measures to reduce wrinkles on their body that they commonly do on their face. Years of sun exposure and natural aging can lead to wrinkles and lax skin on the body. In the last few years, various injectable treatments have been approved by the FDA to treat the skin and other issues on other parts of the body including the chest.

Although they are known primarily as a facial treatment, Sculptra® Aesthetic injections can be used to reduce wrinkles and treat the skin on the chest. Sculptra® Aesthetic Chest Rejuvenation restores skin volume by working within the deep dermis to strengthen the skin’s structure. A series of Sculptra® Aesthetic Chest Rejuvenation treatments can smooth out wrinkles, minimize the appearance of skin laxity and rejuvenate the skin to take years off of the appearance of your aging chest.

For people who suffer from excessive armpit sweating (known commonly as hyperhidrosis), cosmetic injectables can help with that too. Botox® Cosmetic injections have been FDA-approved and proven to help with even the most extreme hyperhidrosis symptoms. Unlike more invasive surgical solutions to prevent excess sweating, Botox® injections to the armpits reduce sweat by simply blocking the nerves from reaching the sweat glands. Patients who received Botox® injections for sweating have reported up to a 75% reduction in armpit perspiration within their first month of treatment.

These are just a couple examples of how cosmetic injectables can help rejuvenate your skin and provide you with an improved appearance and self-image. At AYA™ we encourage our patients to think outside the box and are always happy to answer any questions you may have about how our treatments can provide excellent, long-lasting results. Contact AYA™ Medical Spa or pop in to any of our three Atlanta and Alpharetta area locations today if you would like to schedule a complimentary skincare analysis to see how we may be able to help improve your appearance.
